snoopy300

Hi All, I need a answer to this. Are the electric window motors the same on a jdm 1990 300zx and a uk spec 92. My jdm drivers side motors knackered and I have another one lined up but it's off a uk model. I don't have a garage and with all of the rain we've had and work commitments I haven't been able to get the door card off and check part numbers. Has anyone came across this in their time??? Cheers

Hi, Sounds like the same prob I'm having!!! I'm trying to source some new connectors to solve it but haven't found any yet. Does anyone know where to get them??? Dave

Still having loads of probs with my rad. An absolute pill to remove. Couldn't get at the auto box cooler pipes v easily. Was quted £100.00 for a replacement and although right year etc it was totaly different. Is there much difference between jap and uk spec???

Will do and thanks again.

Now THAT'S what I call help and good advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'l put that into practise forthwith..or fifthwith if that's what it takes. Just hope it works. Also hope that it's only a rad that I need and not new heads as well!

Just polish the red a bit more! Does that make it go quicker?!?! I hope so...Just priced a Rad! Ouch...But very tempting too if I can get it past the other half. :nono:

How long is a piece of string. I have owned this car for over a year and havn't started to mod it yet. As long as this leak...okay it blew at 80ish with a lot of steam!!!...hasn't damaged anything seriously I want to start tweaking it a bit. I love these cars to bits. All thats been done is a turbo timer that I know of and a Jasmo stainless steel exhaust. Also I get the goosehonk so suspect it may have had induction done. How do you tell??????

Cheers m8. Love the car! Mines red too but isn't quite as tasty as yours.....YET. Thanks for the advice, tho. Any idea of the best place to get rad from???

Sorry to be dense but what is an AIV? Only had my 300 for a year and never had much trouble until recently. Also can the radiator on the cars be repaired as mine is leaking (BADLY). Cheers.

Re: Goosehonk. Always wondered what that noise was!! What causes it and how do you get rid of it????

Hi, Has anyone got a radiator for sale for a tt auto import. 1990 model. Mines peeing water everywhere and I don't know wether you can repair these rads. I use the car for work every day so need one in a hurry. What's the point of having a 300 and not enjoying it!!!! I'm trying to find a rad in the North East so I can pick it up and also make sure it's the right one. Any suggestions/help???

Thanks guys. Anyone out there got a rad for sale??????

I think I may have a crack or maybe have split a seam in my radiator. How hard are they to work on? Can they be fixed or are they of the plastic type? The water is peeing out when it is about two thirds full. Problem is the car overheated at speed and the temp gauge only went up slightly so i was driving on it for a while!!! Hope there's no pemanent damage!!! Any suggestions please. :confused:

Help!!!!! I'm based up in the Newcastle on Tyne area and would love to know if there are any good mechanics or garages that know what they are doing with the ZX. Preferably one's that don't try to rip you off as soon as they see what you are driving!!!! I have a few problems with my 90 tt and am no mechanic myself. Any suggestions please.

Hi Mate, I had the same problem earlier this year. There was a 4 inch piece of pipe leaking at the back of the engine. Couldn't even see it. It cost £80.00 to get fixed at the garage as the only way to get at it was on a ramp and then fixed mainly by feel. At least it's a lot less to replace than a heater matrix!!!

Sorry forgot to say who with. Norton insurance. Lots of help.

It depends on how old your zed is. I've just renewed my insurance and the quote from my last provider (Norwich Onion!) went from £700 to over £900, and I'm 47 with a full no claims. Luckily my zed is now over 15 years old so got a classic insurance for £315, 5000 miles, £250 excess. Very Happy!!!! Big smiles as I can spend more on petrol!!!

I was lucky with my first MOT 2. Big relief. I've just had my insurance renewal. Norwich Union wanted to charge me £900.00... Bugger that I thought. Ended up getting a classic insurance policy, 5000 miles per year £250 excess, fully comp for my tt auto....£315.00. That's more like it!!!!! Anyone got any de-cat pipes for sale as it sounds like one of my cats is breaking up inside? At last!!!!

Ouch! No damage done I hope!!!

Hi, No snow shots. Scared myself a couple of times over the winter tho!!! 255 nankang tyres don't seem to like ice....or snow...or rain...or slightly damp even!!! Been sideways a couple of times. Anyone tell me of a nice set of tyres that will give me better grip in these conditions before I bend my baby???

Hi, I joined last september. Still waiting for my stickers and membership pack. Cheerz, Dave

Thanks, but tried that. Even without the power light on the box won't shift up. I can be doing exactly 70 and am pulling about 4000 revs. Normaly this is 3000 ish. It doesn't happen all of the time either. One minute everything's fine and the next I have to drive 30 miles in third as it won't shift up even if I lift off slightly.

Help!!! I have an auto box problem and can't figure it out. It seems that my car won't shift up into top gear on occasion - usualy after I've just used kick down. I'll be doing 70 plus (!!!) and revs are 4000 plus and I seem to be in 3rd (or 3rd overdrive. Has anyone else had similar problems? Also the power light keeps coming on even when it is switched off. Don't know if that's part of the same problem. Anyone got a clue??

Hi, yeah I'm interested. Only prob is I'm off on hol for 2 weeks, so hopefully I'll be back in time. Cheers, Dave

Hi Mate, Just joined this week. North Shields, Tyne and Wear. Would like to meet up with local zed owners. Drop me a line anyone.
